Description
It all has started with a dream. OK, let's be honest, it's started with a glass of beer. Brewed by someone else.
Dream big. Always dream big, you know. We started small because at the beginning the only thing we had was our dream. We haven't owned any equipment, so our first brews were born at other city and other mash tun entirely. But we took one step at the time and soon our very own, very handcrafted and assembled by hand brewery arrived from Bila Tserkva. We installed it here in Kyiv at the premises of the former lumber house – “lisopylka” in Ukrainian, hence the name of the brew-pub – and continued the pursuit of our dream.
Today we have new state-of-the-art brewery and immensely proud of it. Don't think that we discarded our small but utterly loved old brewing system, because we have, yes you've guessed, BIG plans for it. And we keep on dreaming big. We just want to share this dream of better beer, sheer enjoyment of the drink, greater and more diverse beer culture, share it with you.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops upfront, with a touch of floral character, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour has died down, with grassy hops and biscuity malt. Light bitterness on the finish. Stale hops galore. Weak.

Hazy light amber. No head. Has basically a cheesy Amarillo nose with a bit of yeastiness. This is a bit stale, and in particular the hops don’t have much brightness. It’s fairly balanced, decently made, but it really needs brighter hops.

330ml bottle at Matt’s. Bottled on 2016-11-30. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a weak white head. Aroma is not good, malty and some not pleasant hops, quite harsh. Same bad taste. Sorry, but this one is terrible, despite it is only 4 months old. Defective bottle?

330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out vegetal notes and a light grassy character. Flavour is very dry, with grassy and vegetal notes, straw and bitter grassiness. Stale and off-putting. No good.

Slight haze. Light amber. Not much head. The hops are really toasty on the nose. Light and watery. The hops are stale...bit cheesy...not all that interesting. Just tired hops and the malt base doesn’t really go anywhere at all, so you get this odd toastiness.
